Can Animation Carry a Game?
By ImJustThatKinky • 4 years ago


When it comes to your Ren’Py porn games, the porn should be the first and main focus. You need to make sure that if everything in your game is crap, that at least the sex scenes are good. Sadly, many of them even fail at that aspect. But, something that always stick out as a favorite for people are games with animated sex scenes.


A good example of a game that contains sex scenes animation is Summertime Saga. I played Summertime Saga back in the day and enjoyed it for the porn sic-com that it was. But back then, I wasn’t so impress by the sex scenes. Even though the scenes were animated, the dialogue between them where few and far inbetween. But I’ve seen some videos of more recent versions of Summertime Saga and that complaint seems to have been solved for some of the sex scenes. I’ve also seen this problem in School of Lust, where in some scenes, the dialogue takes a back seat, while the animation does all the work.



Animation is the same thing as dialogue and descriptions, you need a good mix of all them, or you’ll make a sex scene that feel half baked. As someone who has to write sex scenes, I understand how hard it can be, I’m the worst when it comes to writing up descriptions. So animation is great, but it’s always a bummer when it’s used as an excuse to cheap out on everything else.


Do you love animation in your Ren’Py games? Are you fine with just animation and no dialogue or descriptions? What is your favorite animated Ren’Py game? Tell us in the comment below.
